Cole, the surry County Miscrean,.


PE1ERsBvRG, Va, July l6.-The re-
port that Reuben Cole, the negro who
gently assaulted Mrs. Savage, in
Surry county, had been taken from jail
by mob and then released and pat
back in jail proves untrue. The party
who came for the purpose, as is sup
posed, of lynching the negro, after dis
covering that the Jail was guarded,
made no attempt TO force an entrance.
1t is now reported that party has
been organized in an adjoining county
to lynch Cole in event he is not
speedily tried and sentenced, but 1t is
believed there will be no attempted
lynching before trial, and not even
then, unless the sentence is contine-
ment in the penitentiary. The ac-
cused has the right to elect TO be tried
in the Circuit Court. If he does this
his trial will not be held until Noyem-
Der 18th, in which case it is thought
that it viii not be safe to leave him in
